3 weeks after injury to nose
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing you in person and examining your nose – you should consider seeing an a nasal surgeon for an assessment

Swelling or Permanent Dorsal Hump?
Swelling along the nasal dorsum from blunt nasal trauma can take several months to fully dissipate and you shouldn't make any decisions about Rhinoplasty to change things until at least that amount of time has elapsed. When trauma creates obvious damage and deviations to the nose, Rhinoplasty can be done as soon as two weeks because it's clear the nose has been damaged and fractured. In cases where this isn't clear, it's best to wait and see IMHO.

Permanent Swelling vs Dorsal Hump
If your still swollen below your eyes 3 weeks after trauma you probably still have swelling of your dorsum. However the only way you'll know for sure is to be examined by a specialist in nasal surgery. That would be a lot easier than spending your precious time doing all the research.
